Safety Education Program
In order to continue to create a safer UT Community, and in accordance with Texas Education Code, Section 51.9361, the Office of the Dean of Students provides the Safety Education Program for student organizations. Safety Education connects student organizations to risk management, prevention, and emergency resources. Registered and sponsored student organizations are required to complete Safety Education annually. All Sport Club primary contacts must complete the Safety Education Program.
For more information, please see the Office of Dean of Students Website. The DOS team allows orgs to check their completion status of the requirement here.
Coach/Instructor Orientation
Each summer, clubs are required to submit information about their coaches/instructors for the upcoming academic year. This info is collected to begin the process for onboarding the coaches/instructors that work with UT students. Each coach/instructor must authorized and pass a background check, submit a UTSCA Membership Packet, and be approved by Sport Club Staff prior to providing services for UT students.
All first-time coaches/instructors (paid and/or volunteer) are required to attend. At this Orientation, certain paperwork may be completed and other important information will be shared.
If your new coach/instructor cannot attend, please contact Sport Club Staff to request an alternative meeting.
Recurring Meetings
Advisor Meeting
Authorized Reps should regularly meet with their advisor in the Sport Club office. To schedule a meeting, use your advisors' Bookings. Your organization may meet with either/both of your Sport Club advisors, but we recommend you schedule that with your designated Primary Advisor. Those meetings are held in the Gregory Gym Administrative Offices or virtually on Teams.
Authorized Representative Meetings
One Authorized Rep from each club is required to attend the UTSCA monthly meetings scheduled by the Sport Club Staff. The monthly meetings will cover a variety of topics and/or guest speakers. Topics may include, but are not limited to: finance, travel, risk management, mental health, culture, leadership development, and alumni relations.

This is a tabling opportunity for Sport Clubs to market their teams to freshmen and transfer students attending orientation. The event is once a week during orientation sessions. Sport Clubs will register to attend the event via Recruitment Event sign up on HornsLink. Most clubs bring the following supplies:
A banner

Past trophies
A sign up sheet - typically on the computer
Party on the Plaza
Party on the Plaza is a longstanding welcome back to campus event. The event is another opportunity for Sport Clubs to advertise their team to the student body. The event occurs the second Wednesday of classes in the Fall. Typically, Sport Clubs will be joined in tabling efforts with over 300 other student organizations.
